Sony Lue Z – this is said to be the official name of the smartphone. From the looks of it, the handset will run Windows Phone 8.1 out of the box, and its design will follow the company's OmniBalance principles. Also, it seems that the Sony Lue Z could come with a custom camera application, or at least that's what we think the icon on the fourth row might indicate. If our assumption is correct, then Sony's WP8.1 warrior could be a camera-centric device and a potential rival to all the high-end Nokia Lumia models.

We must stress that there's no guarantee that the above image is genuine. It could be an elaborate hoax, and as we recently learned, even Evleaks is not immune to these. But the leak could be on the right track given all the rumors claiming that a Windows Phone device from Sony is coming. Hopefully, we'll know the truth soon enough.

I totally agree with you but let's hope this is real and let's hope they officially announce something and soon. It would be nice to see a new high end Windows Phone before November/December. And let's hope Sony actually gets the launch right this time. Can't wait.

some time ago an internet Tech site reported that Sony was in talks with Microsoft to make Windows 8 devices (Tablets and Smart phones) but Sony gave no commitment at that time to make them.- Folks The Windows 8/8.1 OS and Mobile Windows smart phone Operating system is free to all OEM's who make any device that have touch screens below 10 inches (254 mm). Sony could easily Port Windows Phone 8.1 on any of their flag ship smartphones phones. It's Free no royalties to pay Microsoft. Microsoft will make it's money on it's free
Mobile Operating Systems by selling it's services like Skipe , Office 365 , ect.
